A Philosophy of Education: Improving Character and Conscience

A Philosophy of Education is Volume 6 of Charlotte Mason's six-volume Home Education series. This is Charlotte Mason's last book, and it contains the fruit of many years of teaching and observing her methods at work in the Parents National Education Union (PNEU) schools. While it focuses primarily on the education of older students (twelve and up), there is much in it that is applicable to any age. Of all the volumes, this is most heavily focused on the "why" of the educational methods and like the others in the series reveals new wisdom with each successive reading.
